The problem is, I can't find the paper using any database at
my disposal, which includes SciFinder, Web of Science, etc.
Does anybody know this "COMPARISON OF CH2N2 PREPS" paper?
Please post the reference. THANK YOU.

Diazomethane is known to be a potential explosive. You risk your life
and the lives of your loved ones by your stupidity. You seem to have
the ability to research. Do you have the ability to think?
Diazomethane is a methylating agent. If you do not have the legitimacy
to purchase diazomethane, like I do, which do not think through tour
objective and consider alternative methylation agents.
Or is your objective in fact to obtain an explosive material without
think through alternatives. If that is the case I advice you to go to
a gunshop. Purchase bulk guncotton. Melt it down with acetone. Now you
have an explosiev and you still run thr greater risk of blowing your
han off. But at least I got you to that point faster than you could
get there on your own steam.
STUPID+
Yes, it's explosive, but it's relatively safe to make and use in
situ. Many chemists do it quite often, and I don't think we all
deserve to be dismissed as "STUPID+" for doing so.
I surely question THAT claim.
No one sells diazomethane (as in "diazomethane in a bottle")
that can be legally shipped by any carrier in the US and
probably in any other civilized (i.e., regulated) country.
Whether as a gas or in solution, it is too explosive under
conditions of temperature, pressure shock and almost every
other routine stability test.
Perhaps you purchase "diazomethane services" and have a step
carried out by a third party (e.g., Aerojet); perhaps you
mean you purchase the precursors. I don't care what you mean.
Your reply was irrelevant to my Q and my purpose.
There is a paper by someone who compared the rates and
efficiencies of esterification of benzoic acid using the
common CH2N2 precursors under standard conditions: Diazald
at 60 C; NMU at O C; etc.
In the hands of competent, trained chemists, the determination
was that NMU gave the fastest, highest yield with the least
waste (something like ~0 C, 10 minutes, 1 eq, 90%). Because
Diazald is prepped at higher temps and requires longer reaction
times and distillation (during which time you can lose CH2N2
due to polymerization or other decomposition), they had much
lower yield and required a much larger excess to obtain a 90%
yield of methyl benzoate.
I know what I am looking for ("the paper") but don't have the
bib info. I have searched the professionals' electronic
databases. I think they (CAS, STN, Web of Sci, Beilstein,
et al) have incorrectly tagged this paper or skipped it
completely. (The databases are FULL of errors and omissions.)
That is why I am asking for help from chemists here (sci.chem)
who read the literature and may remember this paper and can
help me to locate it.)
The paper is in English; it was probably a second tier
journal (OPPI? Synth Commun?). THANK YOU for your help
finding the paper, not for your ad hominen remarks.

Thomas let me add to this tragic, but very funny thread a
serious note. In his post, which you dug up, Methlab cooker
"nicovar at hushmail.com" als said
::nicvar:: "Back in the 1950s some of us would manufacture MDA"...
>
So, say "nico" was 20 then, and now 50 years later he is in
his 70's... ahahahaha...and his posts do glaringly show
what his drug habit has done to him.... ahahahaha....
It is funny, but I know is really sad... It is a horrible one-way
street that many/most of the dopers & lodos do travel down.
>
During my high school vacations I worked an R&D lab
(washing glass ware etc) where they developed and tested
legit pharmaceuticals (like Nico mentions). --- I saw what
devastating effect these chemicals had on the test subjects.
>
The horror of that never left my mind --- Years later when
working with/in congress I urged the law makers to start
a program to put a fucked up drug-victim into every class
from high school thru freshman... as a deterrent example.

The proposal was studied, tried and shown on a few TV
programs and then found to be too "cruel and unusual"...
to be legislated. They never told me to/for whom it was
"cruel and unusual"... Well... such is the world....
>
There is, of course, far more money to be made, for
everybody in the game, the way they do it now:....
A huge gun-toting and corrupt bureaucracy which feeds
off the unfortunate young, fucked-up kids.
..... So much institutionalized compassion.
Take care, Thomas,
hanson
Quite so. The only one shown as stupid in this thread is the poster that
thought making it was stupid. :)
